Overview
The Archdiocese of Vienna identifies the church as the parish's worship centre and documents its history. Built in the early eighteenth century above the town, it preserves the continuity of an older chapel and a Marian pilgrimage. Separating the building from the object clarifies what a visitor can physically enter and what is venerated inside.
